Korig's mind raced back to his previous encounter with a goblin chief.
It had been a fierce battle, and in the final moments of that clash, the goblin had spoken of family, of a big brother and a father, both presumably even more formidable than itself.
At that time, Korig had taken it as a desperate attempt to intimidate, but now, standing face to face with the monstrous form of the 4th goblin chief, he realized there was truth in those words.
This goblin chief was not just an adversary; it was a colossal force, a testament to how strong the next one, the 5th and final chief, might be.
Fear didn't grip Korig, though.
It fueled his determination, steeled his resolve. He wasn't about to let fear dictate the outcome of this battle.
Ezra, perceptive as ever, caught the shift in Korig's expression.
He glanced at him and remarked, "You seem to be intimidated"
Korig nodded to his words.
